Voytek,
Place youself in the disk group (after all, you can be a member of multiple groups).
What are the permissions on the scanner? (`ls -l /dev/sg0`) - So long as the group can read from the device, all should be good (although write permissions may be needed as well) ... permissions should look something like -rwxrwx--- or -rwxrwxr-x the main part is the middle three bits to indicate group permissions.
Warmest regards
Mike

Mike
the dev/sg0 (scanner) is owned by root:disk and /dev/ttyS1 (modem) by root:uucp
and /dev/ttyS0 (aplm) by voytek:uucp
should I just make a group, or which of existing groups should I use ?
this machine will have no other shell users but me
thanks
Voytek
